An explosion in eastern Afghanistan killed three NATO soldiers

An explosion in eastern Afghanistan killed three NATO soldiers on Monday, the US-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said.
  
An Afghan police spokesman said the blast was a suicide attack on an ISAF patrol in Khost city and that several civilians had also been killed. "It was a suicide attack on foot that targeted a foreign forces' patrol in Khost city," Colonel Yaqub, deputy provincial police chief, told AFP.
  
"I can confirm that four police have been wounded in the attack. Several civilians were killed and wounded too." An ISAF spokesman said he could confirm that three NATO service members had been killed, but that details of the incident were still unclear.
